Repugnant Gateway Chapter 136

Everyone has things that they resist from the bottom of their heart, perhaps one thing or another.

It depends on the person's mental strength, whether or not the person is pretentious.

A person like An Zhe had seen, experienced, and experienced many times before, far surpa.s.sing others.

But he also had something he resisted … that was riding a horse.

An dispute never considered riding a comfortable thing, nor did it seem to suggest that it would be faster than the traveller himself.

However, when An Zaihai left the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect today, he chose to ride a horse.

There was only one reason. He had to make sure that when he rushed to Heavenly Temple, he was full of energy and didn't consume too much energy.

Therefore, he would rather fear than ride a horse.

Many people are resistant to the things they resist, constantly telling themselves that I can't do it. However, when things get to a certain point, these seemingly scary things can easily get through them.

Of course, Fang Bancheng was not allowed to ride a horse and run, but no one paid attention to him either. Fortunately, the sky was dark and there were few pedestrians on the street.

Everything in the sect was good. The food and clothing, including the games, were all first-rate.

An Zeng once said that I would follow a group of people to do good deeds, so of course I would give them the best life.

People who do bad things will enjoy it, why not people who do good things to enjoy it?

Therefore, this war horse was also very outstanding. An Zaihai didn't like riding, but that didn't mean he didn't like horses.

On the contrary, back when he was the head of the Great Xi Mantra Division, An Zaibo was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he was also quite knowledgeable about the art of horses.

War horses were not allowed to be bought or sold. The horses that were collected during the war were all horses that were injured and abandoned on the battlefield. The horses that were originally thought to be dead without a doubt.

However, after being taken care of by the people from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, most of them had recovered.

An Zeng once said that many people praised the Grand Swallow Cavalry's peerless under the heavens, but they only praised the soldiers and not the horses.

Soldiers were awarded functional awards, but warhorses could at most eat a few mouthfuls of good gra.s.s.

This was a warhorse that had experienced the bloodbath on the battlefield. It didn't need much effort to control, but it was able to be easily controlled.

It had only taken them less than an hour to travel from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect to Empyrean Terminus Palace.

Of course, it was still a bit slow compared to when An He fought to run as fast as he could.

In all these years, it was the first time that they had seen someone who dared to ride a horse straight out of the gates of the Heavenly Temple.

An Zaiyue gave his name, and the Imperial Army knew that this person would be partic.i.p.ating in the banquet, so they let him in without much difficulty.

The main reason was because the news that the Nether Nation had been reduced to dust had already spread, and the Imperial Army soldiers were feeling very proud of themselves.

Towards the people of You Country, no one in Yanzhou would have any good feelings towards them.

An Zaiyan quickly rushed into Heavenly Temple to see King Yan, Mu Changyan. However, when he arrived at Heavenly Temple, he was informed that Mu Changyan had gone to the brocade palace to attend a banquet with the empress dowager.

When An Zhe wanted to go to the brocade palace, he was stopped. Without the command of the empress dowager, no one was allowed to enter or leave as they wished.

An Zaiyue had his men notify him, but the people guarding outside the brocade palace simply ignored him.

An Zhe then asked around for Chen Shaobai, asking many Imperial Guards and Imperial Bodyguards. Everyone knew where this person went.

Chen Shaobai was the imperial bodyguard of the brocade palace. He was equivalent to the imperial guard commander of the brocade palace. Logically speaking, he had to be on duty at the brocade palace.

However, no one was willing to help him.

An Zeng looked at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and really wanted to throw it away in a fit of anger.

If he couldn't find the Duke of Yan, even if he couldn't see the empress dowager, he still couldn't find Chen Shaobai.

After wandering around Heavenly Temple for over half an hour, he finally found out that An Chengli had gone to the imperial kitchen to supervise.

An Zhe found a young eunuch and handed him a hundred taels of silver, asking for his help in finding An Chengli.

The eunuch recognized An Zaiyue and hurriedly went to look for him.

An Chengli hurriedly rushed out from the royal kitchen. Just as An Zhan was explaining the situation to An Chengli, a bell sounded from the Heavenly Temple side.

""It's about to begin.""

An Chengli said, ""Right now, I am rushing to the Heavenly Temple. Hopefully, I still have time to ask the King to prepare.""

""I hope your worries don't come out. Otherwise, there will be a huge mess tonight.""

After An Zongli and An Chengli split up, they also went to the Heavenly Temple's side. At this moment, the colorful lights were already hanging high in the sky, and the Heavenly Temple was brightly lit.

For the people of Youlan, seeking peace was a great satisfaction to their self-esteem.

The two countries had fought for so many years, that was the first time in history that you've admitted your cowardice.

Yan Ren and You Ren had not been victorious in the battlefield for so many years, but today, they had finally overtaken You Ye.

An Zaiyue walked to the plaza outside the Heavenly Temple. There were already tables laid out here, and maids were shuttling back and forth in the palace. Some of them held fine wine in their hands, and some of them held fruits in their hands as they busied themselves.

The entire imperial court's martial field had arrived, including those who were of high status in Fang Gu City.

An Zaihai also saw the figure of the lake from afar. He accompanied an old woman as she slowly walked through the crowd. The officials all rose to their feet and greeted her.

There was no one from the Gao Family taking office, but their influence in the Imperial Court was still so great. It was clear just how powerful the Gao Family was.

When An Zaiyan found the men from the Military Department, he wanted to meet Chen Zaiyan, but he was not there at all, as he was accompanying King Yan, Mu Changyan.

An Zaiyue found w.a.n.g KaiTai and Fang Daozhang, and recounted his concerns. w.a.n.g Kai-tai and Fang Daozhong looked at each other, and then w.a.n.g Kai-tai quickly left, leaving Fang Daozhong behind.

Another half an hour later, the dishes were all served. Yan w.a.n.g Mu, Mu Changyan, and the empress dowager Su Qing came out of the Empyrean Terminus Palace, escorted by several ministers.

All the officials of the Yan Kingdom stood up to pay their respects, including You Country's diplomatic mission.

The Yan Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Tan Song sat together on the dais. Prime Minister of the Left, Su Mao, General Su Zong, Minister of Rites, Minister of War, and a few members of the Royal Family.

On the opposite side of the long table, there was a temporary high platform, on which a dancer was dancing.

By the side of the stage, there was a large box that the Nether Realm people had brought with them.

Fang Dao signaled An Zaili not to act rashly. He lowered his hand and said in a low voice, ""Since you've already told An Chengli, An Chengli will definitely tell the King.""

""The experts in the palace are more than enough to deal with an unexpected situation. General w.a.n.g has already returned to the barracks to transfer his cavalry. As long as they are properly prepared, the people of You Country won't be able to come up with any tricks.""

An Zhan pointed at Tan Song who was standing beside Duke Yan. ""I'm worried about that person. I think there's something wrong with him.""

Fang Dao said straightforwardly, ""You are currently in a state of internal and external troubles. Our Yan Country's army of 300,000 is on the eastern border, and the BoHai Country's army of 160,000 has already made their way into You Kingdom's territory. That's why You Guo came to seek peace.""

Unless the people of You Country are confident that they can defeat both our Yan Kingdom and BoHai Country, how could they possibly dare to cause trouble in Fang Gu City at this time?

""If they want to a.s.sa.s.sinate the great king, the best choice would be to secretly plot against him. There's no need to use a princess as a bargaining chip.""

""Once this prefecture lord acts, there will no longer be any room for return between You and Yan Country.

As long as You Nation isn't stupid, they wouldn't do something so brazen. ""

An Xuan said, ""What I'm afraid of is the destruction of your country.""

Fang Dao shook his head. ""If anything happens to the King, the Yan Country will definitely seek revenge. At that time, You Country will not be able to stop the Yan Country's all-out attack.""

Anjou understood this, but he felt that it was not so simple.

At this time, An Chengli delivered a speech on behalf of Yan w.a.n.g, then announced the start of the banquet.

The court musicians played wonderful music, and the dancers showed off their figure and beauty.

King Yan, Mu Changyan, raised his cup and gestured to Tan Song, ""Duke Yi, what do you think about my Dancing Swallow?""

Tan Song said with an expressionless face, ""Yan Ren is heroic. Even this woman's dance exuded an aura of unparalleled elegance and elegance. She is worthy of the four words' unparalleled in the world '.""

Mu Changyan laughed out loud. ""Duke Yi sure knows how to talk. However, I, Great Yan, reigned majestically in the north. Even if it was a woman, I still have a sense of heroic spirit.""

""Rumor has it that even the women of the south are as graceful as water, even I, the Lone King, am afraid that I am not as flirtatious as her.""

Tan Song said, ""Your Majesty's words are extremely correct.""

The red-robed clergyman who was sitting at a table not far away looked towards Angele from time to time.

He seemed absent-minded, and on several occasions the Yankee officials beside him raised their gla.s.ses, but he was perfunctory.

An hour later, everything was so peaceful that nothing happened.

w.a.n.g Kaitai returned with beads of sweat on his forehead. He sat beside An Zaihe and said, ""I have gathered all the troops of the military in the capital and arranged them outside the Heavenly Temple.""

Soldiers from the Military Department were also gathered. The military officers were arranged in a circle, and if anything happened, they would immediately react.

Just now, I met with An Chengli. An Chengli said that the imperial guards have already blocked off the water in the surroundings. The experts who are in charge of Heavenly Temple are also secretly on guard. ""

""I hope it was a false alarm.""

At this moment, the red robed cleric of You Country walked onto the platform, ""Everyone!""

He called out, and the scene fell silent.

The red-robed clergyman first clasped his hands in a salute, then said loudly, ""Perhaps none of you thought that there would be a day when the Swallow People and the Quiet People would sit together and talk and drink.""

To be honest, I never thought it would come so soon.

Perhaps, this was the will of the Heavens.

I know that you all have a conflict with the people of the underworld, because there is indeed some conflict between our two countries.

But today, it is a new beginning. ""

""I believe that from today onwards, the You Country and the Yan Country will completely put aside their past grudges and become true brothers.""

On behalf of the King You who cannot come personally, and on behalf of everyone present, I have the temerity to toast the empress dowager and Duke Yan with a goblet of wine for the empress dowager's longevity!

""For King Yan!""

All the officials stood up and raised their gla.s.ses. ""For the Empress Dowager's birthday!""

""For King Yan!""

The red robed clergyman drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, then he smiled and said, ""Previously at the Gathering Merchant Guild, the Yan had taught us quite a lesson, letting us know that there is always someone greater than the heavens.""

In this regard, those of us in the underworld are willing to admit defeat, and we sincerely admire Great Yan's talent.

Although we have paid a great price for this, but this lesson is also very valuable to us. ""

""However!""

He changed the subject, ""Although we lost at the Gathering Merchant House, we did not lose completely.

""There is one thing that holds back the last shred of face for us in Ethereal Opening, and that is the true national treasure of our Great Ethereal Opening.""

He pointed to the rocks beside him and said, ""These rocks were left over from the Gathering Merchant House not long ago. Due to the timing of the selection, I was lucky enough to make it to Heavenly Temple to partic.i.p.ate in this grand gathering.

Even if I served you an appetizer, no matter what we cut, we would use it as a gift to the empress dowager and the Swallow King.

""Of course, this is only the opening ceremony. The real treasures to offer to the empress dowager and Duke Yan are here.""

He pointed to the large box beside him. ""This box contains the three precious treasures of You Guo. If I said my name, I believe you would have heard of it.""

""These three items represent the sincerity of our You Kingdom.""

""The first is the Flowing Maple Blade.""

With these words spoken, the crowd erupted into an uproar.

""Flowing Maple Blade. Legend has it that it's a divine weapon of the purple rank.""

""Back then, You w.a.n.g's blade had once slayed a demon.""

""I never thought that You Guo would be so sincere this time. He actually brought a national treasure.""

""The Flowing Maple Blade isn't just a national treasure. It's a symbol of the King of You's clan.

You Nation had brought out the Flowing Maple Knife. That was the symbol of a person bowing his head and paying his respects!

G.o.d bless us, Great Yan. We've finally waited for today. ""

The crowd discussed animatedly, and each and every one of them was extremely excited.

Even the empress dowager Su Qing's warm expression changed. There was no Flowing Maple Blade on the list of gifts. She couldn't help but look at Mu Changyan, who also had a face full of surprise and excitement.

""The second item …""

The red robed clergyman smiled and said, ""I think I'll keep you guessing. We'll ask the King of Yan to send people to cut the rock first. After we've cut the rock, we can announce it.""

""Cut the rocks?""

Mu Changyan laughed and said, ""Cutting the rock is too boring. Have you settled down?""

""Let him come to the Lone King!""
